I’m from Oregon. I grew up there. And sister & younger brother are grads of the University of Oregon. The coast, Silver Creek Falls State Park, and the town of Mt. Angel & the abbey are among my favorite places.

My mother’s grandparents came from a place called Bütow in a region called Pomerania within Germany. It is now within Poland, southwest of Gdańsk.

Yes, I’m a Trekkie

My great-great grandmother, Nettie Ann Boal. She died young, at the age of 26. I did an etching of her in one of my art classes.

I love Lando & I love Shaft.

This poster of Terry Porter, Buck Williams & Jerome Kersey used to hang on my wall. I need to find another one. I was a huge fan of the Portland Trailblazers during the Clyde Drexler and Arvydas Sabonis eras.
